COVİD-19 Sürecinde 1.Basamak Aile Sağlığı Merkezi ve Temaslı Ekibi Çalışanlarının Kaygı Düzeyleri ve İlişkili Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Salgın sırasında, temaslı ekipleri başta olmak üzere birinci basamak sağlık çalışanlarının kaygı düzeylerini araştırmayı ve ilgili sosyopsikolojik faktörlerin (iş arkadaşı ve örgütsel destek algı düzeyleri) belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Sağlık çalışanlarına uygulanan anketler, Google Forms aracılığıyla gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. SPPS20 prgoramı aracılığıyla Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis testleri kullanılmıştır. Etki büyüklüğü cohen-d ile incelenmiştir. Sosyodemografik faktörler ve bağımsız değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek için doğrusal regresyon analizi (enter metod) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: 312 katılımcının %56.1’inde anksiyete, %44.2’sinde uykusuzluk, %43.6’sında örgütsel destek algısı düşüklüğü, %37.5’inde çalışma arkadaşı desteği yokluğu mevcuttur. Kadınların, kronik hastalığı olanların, düzenli ilaç kullananların anksiyetesi ve uykusuzluk şiddeti yüksekken çalışma arkadaşı desteği algısı düşüktür. Temaslı ekibinin uykusuzluk şiddeti yüksekken çalışma arkadaşı desteği düşüktür. Anksiyete ile uykusuzluk arasında pozitif; örgütsel destek ve çalışma arkadaşları desteği arasında negatif korelasyon vardır. Sonuçlar: Algılanan örgütsel ve iş arkadaşı desteğinin olmaması, kronik hastalık varlığı, kadın olma ve düzenli ilaç kullanımı anksiyete ve uykusuzluğun başlıca nedenleridir. Filyasyon çalışmasının zamandan bağımsız olarak yürütülmesi sebebiyle temas sıklığının artması anksiyete ve uykusuzluğa neden olabilir. Kadınların anksiyete yüksekliği; algılanan çalışma arkadaşı desteği düşüklüğünün bir sonucu olabilir. Sağlık profesyonellerine verilen eğitim ve destekler bu risk faktörleri göz önünde bulundurularak planlanmalıdır. Filyasyon ekiplerinin çalışma şartları iyileştirilmelidir. 1.basamak sağlık personeline verilen eğitim ve desteklerin daha etkin hale getirilmesi, motivasyonu arttırıcı söylem ve ödül mekanizmalarının işletilmesi planlanmalıdır. Bu planlamaya destekleyici yönde birinci basamak sağlık hizmeti sunucularının genel bütçedeki payı ve örgütsel gücü arttırılmalıdır.

Determination of the Factors Relating to Anxiety Levels of Primary Family Healthcare Center and Contact Tracing Workers for COVID-19

Year 2022, Volume: 16 Issue: 2, 330 - 339, 20.06.2022

Abstract

Aim: During the epidemic, we aimed to investigate the anxiety levels of the primary level healthcare professionals, especially the contact tracer teams, and to determine the relevant sociopsychological factors (coworker and organizational support perception levels). Methods: The surveys applied to healthcare-professionals were collected online on a voluntary basis via GoogleForms. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used with SPPS20. The effect size was examined with cohen-d. We used linear regression analysis (enter method) to examine the relationships between sociodemographic factors and independent variables. Results: Anxiety was found in 56.1% of 312 participants, insomnia in 44.2%, a low perception of organizational support in 43.6%, and a lack of support from coworkers in 37.5%. Females and those with chronic illnesses had experienced higher levels of anxiety and insomnia, as well as a lower perception of coworker support. Insomnia severity in contact tracers was high, and their support from coworkers was low. There is a positive correlation between anxiety and insomnia; a negative correlation between anxiety with organizational support and coworker support. Conclusion: The lack of perceived organizational and coworker support, presence of chronic illness, being a woman and using medication are the main causes of anxiety and insomnia. Because contact tracing is preformed independent of time, an increase in the frequency of contacts may cause anxiety and insomnia. High anxiety in females may be a result of a perception of low support from coworkers. Training and supports given to healthcare professionals should be planned by considering these risk factors. Plans should be made to increase the effectiveness of training and support given to primary healthcare workers, and to operate speaking and reward mechanisms to increase motivation. To support this planning, the share in the overall budget and the organizational strength of primary health care providers should be increased. The working conditions of contact tracers should be improved.
